Development Programs

It is stated in CCC's vision that... “It takes a ski community to raise an Olympic medallist”. This suggests that one of the keys to being a successful sport is having a large talent pool from which gifted athletes can naturally emerge. In order to help our talent pool grow, CCC recognizes that it must support the entire spectrum of the ski community, where talent already runs deep and varying levels of commitment to the sport exist. One way that CCC aims to achieve this is by providing seamless ski programming from the grass-roots level up to the NST level. Through community-based, well-rounded, viable programs, CCC aspires to recruit and retain children and youth, adults and seniors, beginner skiers and novice racers, master competitors and junior-senior athletes, ablebodied and disabled citizens alike to the community of cross-country skiing!

CCC has a range of programs and resources to help guide athletes from ‘playground to podium’. You will find information on Long Term Athlete Development and Skill Development Programs like Jackrabbits and Track Attack in addition to other useful resources.

CCC offers a wealth of coaching development opportunities with the National Coaching Certification Program providing the core initiatives. To find out more about the NCCP, Professional Development, funding opportunities and coaching resources, go to the Coaching Development section.
